Open the day the sunna way — waking, remembrance, refuge, and the door-step trust.
Morning remembrance is how a believer opens the day: before the notifications, the day is handed back to its Owner. The adhkar are short, tested words — the waking dua of restored life, the testimony that this morning the dominion belongs to Allah, contentment with Him as Lord, refuge in His perfect words, and the trust-filled sentence said at the door. Each one takes seconds; together they reframe whatever the day brings. This page orders them roughly as a morning unfolds, from waking to leaving home. The Arabic is copied byte-for-byte from Niyat's reviewed dua library, and every card links to the full page with its source — Sahih Muslim, Abu Dawud, or the Quran — transliteration, and audio where available.
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ
Transliteration. Alhamdu lillahil-ladhi ahyana ba'da ma amatana wa ilayhin-nushur
Meaning. All praise is due to Allah who gave us life after causing us to die, and to Him is the resurrection.
The day's first words — gratitude for life given back, said the moment the eyes open.

أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَ الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، اللَّهُمَّ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَٰذَا الْيَوْمِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ هَٰذَا الْيَوْمِ وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهُ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَسُوءِ الْكِبَرِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ فِي النَّارِ وَعَذَابٍ فِي الْقَبْرِ
Transliteration. Asbahna wa asbahal-mulku lillahi wal-hamdu lillah, la ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadeer. Allahumma as'aluka khayra hadhal-yawmi wa a'udhu bika min sharri hadhal-yawmi wa sharri ma ba'dah. Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-kasali wa su'il-kibar. Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min 'adhabin fin-nari wa 'adhabin fil-qabr
Meaning. We have entered the morning and at this very time the whole dominion belongs to Allah, and all praise is for Allah. There is no god but Allah alone, He has no partner. To Him belongs the dominion and to Him is praise, and He is over all things competent. O Allah, I ask You for the good of this day and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this day and the evil that follows it. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from laziness and the misery of old age. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the Fire and the punishment of the grave.
The morning testimony: sovereignty and praise belong to Allah as the day begins. Its twin closes the evening.
